7th Pay Commission: Calculate your exact pension

Retired central government employees will now get a minimum pension of Rs 9,000, up 157.14 percent from the current Rs 3,500, following implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission’s recommendations.

The Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions on August 4 notified acceptance of the 7th pay panel’s recommendations for the pensioners.

The ceiling of gratuity has also been enhanced from the existing Rs 10 lakh to Rs 20 lakh. The Commission had also recommended the ceiling on gratuity to be raised by 25 percent whenever Dearness Allowance rises by 50 per cent, a proposal which has been accepted by the government.
